A case of giant cell myocarditis in a patient with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is reported. To our knowledge, this is a previously unrecorded association and supports the hypothesis that the aetiology of giant cell myocarditis is related to a changed immune state. Immunohistochemical investigation of this case with a panel of monoclonal antibodies against a range of leucocyte and muscle antigens supports the view that the giant cells have a histiocytic rather than a myogenic origin.
报告了1例非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者合并巨细胞性心肌炎的病例。据我们所知，这是一种此前未记录的关联，支持了巨细胞性心肌炎的病因与免疫状态改变有关的假说。用一组针对多种白细胞和肌肉抗原的单克隆抗体对该病例进行免疫组织化学研究，支持了巨细胞起源于组织细胞而非肌源性的观点。
